Current health expenditure per capita SH.XPD.CHEX.PC.CD
Luxembourg's health expenditure per capita was $8,218 in 2025, ranked 6th globally. This represents a 0.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Luxembourg's health expenditure per capita stood at $8,218 in 2025, a rise of +$48 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $8,218 by 2025. Luxembourg ranked 6th globally.
Luxembourg’s health expenditure per capita has risen from 2,901.20 in 2000 to a 2025 level of 8,218.35, placing the country sixth in the world and closely trailing Monaco’s 8,226.87 and Iceland’s 8,066.50. This more than 180 percent increase over 26 years reflects sustained investment in medical services, pharmaceuticals and preventive care, supported by a high‑income economy and a comprehensive social security system. The all‑time peak coincides with the latest data point in 2025, while the trough in 2000 marks the baseline from which the upward trajectory began. Compared with other affluent peers such as Norway, which records 8,975.20, Luxembourg’s spending remains slightly lower but continues to converge toward the upper tier of the global distribution. Assuming continued fiscal capacity and demographic aging, the upward trend is likely to persist, although any major policy shift toward cost containment or changes in population health needs could moderate future growth.
